Newborn
“Newborn” 既可以是形容词也可以是名词。它主要用于人类婴儿,指从出生到大约一个月大的阶段。它强调的是“刚刚来到世界”这一时刻。
- “The newborn baby slept peacefully in the crib.” (刚出生的婴儿在婴儿床里安详地睡着。)
- “Special care must be taken when handling a newborn.” (处理新生儿时必须格外小心。)
- “They were filled with joy after the arrival of their newborn son.” (随着刚出生的儿子的到来,他们充满了喜悦。)

They knew that their lives had changed forever from the moment their newborn was placed in their arms.” (除了新生儿发出的柔和声音外,屋子里很静。宝宝的一举一动在父母看来都像是奇迹。他们知道,从新生儿被抱入怀中的那一刻起,他们的生活就永远改变了。)
